Hello all,
I have been having concerns over some of the current online vendors shipping pieces that do not look at all like what is posted on their site as WYSIWYG. Despite efforts to rectify, some of them are adamant that it's the same piece. I hope you all can help me justify that this is the same piece as what I purchased. THANK YOU in advance for helping me with this.

This is what posted on their site and what I assume I am purchasing.

This is what they sent me.

So I contacted them and they said it's the same coral and sent me these pictures, said there's lime green coming through under ultrablue:

I retake the pictures with ultra blue and violet on my radion G6, still not seeing any greens like the original WYSIWY photo:

Here are some screenshots of the communications:

I am well aware of coral being stressed when shipped. I have purchased over 20+ holy grails of many different grades and have never seen one come without greens

I'm just hopping on the school bus before the move to vendors feedback where no one can respond. However, it looks just like the photo. Even has the spiffy arm bit there. Colors not so much but yeah I think that's the same coral.

Thanks. Maybe it's just time to color up? I am not sure. Time will tell.
